How and where do you carry the fob when you're in the vicinity of the car? Some here talked about their pants pocket where they were carrying the fob being too tight.
I'm not sure what this means, unless you're just saying the fob seems to act normally for entering and driving the car.

The same thing has happened to me quite a few times. Just last week it happened as I was exiting the car (with the fob in my pocket).

agree that likely cause is inadvertent hitting of the buttom on your fob. you may also want to check the latch and ensure it is really closing when you lower the hatch. if not, you may need to adjust the height stops on either side of the hatch to align the hatch with the rear body panels. I had to do this to get the hatch to automatically close after I had lowered it.

I carry the FOB on a lanyard around my neck.
I got tired of accidentally opening the hatch or setting off the horn due to the FOB (which was in my pocket ) hitting against something.
Got this idea from someone here on the forum and it works for me.

I reported this problem myself as well. Its happened to me a couple of times in a closed garage with a metal door. I would come out the next morning and find the trunk popped. No way the signal from the fob would get through. An GM Engineer was monitoring this site emailed me asking for additional information which I provided. It hasn't happened in a long time till today. I just got on the freeway this morning and all of a sudden, the trunk popped up again, while just getting up to 65mph.

Sounds like there is a short in the fob that's causing the hatch button to be activated all the time. Maybe some water leaked into it at some point. Does this only happen with one of the fobs and not the other?

Does the same thing happen with the other FOB? If you haven't already, I suggest you try just using the other FOB for awhile and see if it happens. If it doesn't, it may be the FOB.

i think the water leaked into it cause a couple of weeks it rained a little and my hoddy got wet and the fob was in it...but i didnt thought that it will affect it....so u think i need to replace the damged fob with a new one?or i can fix it?
